Why is my ipod frozen on the apple logo? Will I need to do a restore?
All I did was turn it off, it had full battery wasnt frozen or anything. I now, when pressing the home and on/off button at the top get the apple logo for about 5 seconds then it goes blank, and I have repeated this many times, yet no luck on getting it to work, just black screen or apple logo : (
itunes tells me I need to do a restore, if I do a restore, will all my photos and apps be deleted? I'm not too worried about the songs as I have them on my computer here, available.
Also, how I do back my stuff up. I currently have no control to do anything on the iPod Touch. I have the latest software installed on my iPod.
Thanks : )

If your device is recognized in iTunes again, backup manually by right clicking on it in the device list and choosing backup.
Your backup folder is located here, if you did back up your computer, just copy the backup folder to the same place again and use it to restore your ipod.

Why is my iPod frozen on the Apple logo screen
We've tried re-setting it & it's still frozen on the apple logo screen.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why has my iphone frozen with the apple logo
why has my iphone 4 frozen with the apple logo
Hard to tell. What were you doing when it happened? First try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This could take up to 20 seconds. If it does not restart, then check this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

I was updateing the software on my ipod through the wireless straight to the ipod and had to stop so held down both the power and the home buttons. Now the screen is frozen with the apple logo and the normal 'unfreeze' technique won't work. The computer does not recognise the ipod so will not charge or restore it. Is there anything that I can do myself?
Unplug it and let unit go dead. Then hold your Home button down and plug the USB power cord back in. iTunes should see it and then restore.

Hey guys, i really need help. The other day, i was playing a game on my ipod touch and it froze up. So i turned it off and turned it back on, and it's frozen on the apple logo with a blurry thinking circle right under it. Pleas Help! Thanks!
You do what the screen is telling you. Connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod via iTunes.

My iPod touch got restarted and frozen on the apple logo screen after I erased all content and settings. And it got restarted and frozen again every 5-10 mins until low battery. It also doesn't recognize by iTunes. Did any one has the same problem? And how did you solve it? Thank you.

Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.Try:

30gb iPod - Frozen Screen displaying Apple Logo, can't reset
Yesterday I downloaded the latest updater for the above iPod. Now the screen of the iPod is frozen on the Apple logo and repeated resets haven't cleared it.
Added to that is the fact that the newly installed Updater doesn't recognise that the iPod is plugged in/mounted, so I can't even restore itto factory settings and start over.
Furthermore, itunes doesn't recognise the ipod anymore, although Windows does. I've downloaded the latest version of iTunes but this hasn't cleared it. I've deleted and reintalled both the original 2005 - 10 - 12 Updater and the newer 2006 - 03 - 23 version and still the ipod isn't recognised and still the apple logo remains and is unresetable (if that's a word!).
So, one simple download and I'm screwed. Any advice would be welcome. Also, I'm now seeing a 'generic volume F:' in a sub-directory of the iPod USB device, in device manager and when I safely remove the pod.
Thanks in advance.You said the iPod is "stuck in infinite reboot loop on apple logo screen." Just let that continue until it stops to drain the battery.

i have the ipod touch 4th generation and the screen is white, i was going to charge it and it turned white. I have tried to reset it but the apple logo will not show up and it will not turn on! i just got it for christmas... can you please help?
The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

in the middle of my last update it stopped updating in the because of an unknown source, and now my screen on my iphone is frozen with the apple logo and a loading bar. Help??
Unknown "source"? Do you mean unknown "error" followed by a number?

Follow the instructions in the article. When you connect your phone again, you may have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears, then continue pressing the home button until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode. -
Hi, I am not able to restore my ipad (I have tried different techniques but it stays frozen at the Apple logo level). If I try through my computer, it forces me to reset factory settings erasing my Media content which I haven't backed up. Ideas please?
Hmmmm.... you might know the answer....

Have an iPod touch 4th gen. It is completely charged, but once I disconnect from a power source it shuts down and then the apple logo just keeps reappearing. I have restored via iTunes and reset all the settings. Any suggestions?
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
